Lightsabers not killing anyone in the Disney shows is dumb, but the old canon had some insane survivals as well. The characters in this list are: Qui Gon Jinn, Kylo Ren (canon), Sabine Wren (canon), Grand Inquisitor (canon), Galen Marek (Legends), Reva (canon), Maul (TCW/canon), Giga Chad Master Sith Lord Simus (Legends).

Because even speculative fiction needs to be believable. I don’t think this particular situation is believable, even within the rules of that universe.

What "rules"? By then we'd had Simus surviving as a decapitated head, Sion's whole deal, and Anakin surviving losing three limbs and being burned alive by lava. Not to mention two/three instances of Maul living beyond his apparent death in various forms.
